In Mali, the non-metallic mineral sector, particularly cement and sand-stone products, faces significant challenges due to the extreme thermal expansion caused by the Sahelian heat. This necessitates the use of high-grade bolts and fasteners that can withstand oxidation and structural stress in open-air manufacturing plants.
Water scarcity and soil permeability in regions like Bamako and Kayes have increased the demand for advanced containment. The adoption of a geomembrane machine has become essential for creating sustainable reservoirs and tailings ponds, preventing chemical leakage into the fragile groundwater table.
Furthermore, traditional roofing in industrial zones often fails under intense UV radiation. There is a shifting preference toward pvc roofing membranes which offer superior thermal reflection and longevity compared to conventional bitumen-based systems used in the past.
